“A thorough examination of
the history of the Templars in Spain and Portugal- Explores the mysteries
surrounding the location of Templar enclaves- Examines the Templar connections
to the Cathars and to the troubadour culture- Looks at the Order’ s influence
in the kingdoms of Aragon and Catalonia and the Spanish monarchy itselfThe rise
and fall of the Templar Order constitutes a fundamental and decisive episode in
medieval history, and the destruction of the Order constitutes a pivotal point
that fundamentally altered the direction of society. While much is known about
the history of the Templar Order in France, home of its chief commandery in
Paris, and in the Latin States of the Middle East, their contribution to events
on the Iberian peninsula has until now remained obscure and unexplored.Renowned
Templar scholar Juan Garcia Atienza reveals here the important role the
Templars played in the Reconquista that saw the Moors driven out of Spain and
demonstrates the great influence they exerted in the kingdoms of Castille and
Navarre and the territories of Catalonia and Aragon. He examines the mysterious
connections between the Templars and the Cathars and troubadours as well as the
mystery surrounding the location of all the Templar enclaves in the Iberian peninsula. He also unveils the important role the
Templars had as teachers of the Spanish king James I, known as the Conqueror,
whose attempt to establish a universal theocratic empire may have been a
reflection of Templar ambitions, and explores the Order’ s suppression in Spain
and how it survived in Portugal by simply changing its name.”

“The Knights Templar were
portrayed by the Roman Catholic Church as evil, perverted thugs bent on
sacrilegious activities and practices. Charles G. Addison presents the other
side of the coin and establishes the heroic, religious and dedicated nature of
the Order long before the Papal documents exonerating the Templars were
acknowledged by the Vatican.
In this work we see the relationship between the Templars and the King of
England, the organization and structure as well as the "torture
confessions" extracted from the captured Templars. This is a detailed and
fascinating account of the betrayal of the Knights Templar.”

Places and books such as
Rosslyn Chapel and "The Da Vinci Code" have focused attention on Scotland's
Knights Templar. Who they were and what they did has been touched upon, but
never properly explored. Close advisors to Scotland's early kings, they were
major property owners and respected landlords in a harsh and unforgiving time.
But they were also secretive and arrogant. Did they flee to Scotland just
prior to their arrest on Friday 13 October 1307? Did they fight with Robert the
Bruce at Bannockburn
in 1314? And how did the Templars continue on after Bannockburn? This book intertwines Templar
and Scottish history, beginning with an overview of the Templars, and then
applying this to Templar life in Scotland. It describes the Templar
arrests in France and
contrasts this with the Templar Inquisition at Holyrood, then following the
Templars from Bannockburn
to the present.

“In 1099, the city of Jerusalem, a possession of
the Islamic caliphate for over four hundred years, fell to an army of Christian
knights intent on liberating the city from Islamic rule. From the ranks of
these holy warriors emerged an order of monks trained in both scripture and the
military arts: the Knights of the Temple
of Solomon, called the
Templars. In this engrossing chronicle, spanning three centuries, Piers Paul
Read tells the bloody story of the Templars’ rise to political and financial
power throughout Europe and the Holy Land, their catastrophic fall, and their
far-reaching legacy. Drawing on the most recent scholarship, Read blends
historical authority with novelistic excitement to create a comprehensive history
of the vaunted and feared warriors whose remarkable order still captures our
imaginations today..”

“The Templars, Two Kings
and a Pope, is the novelized reconstruction of a crucial 25-year period in
Templar history, before the Order of the Temple
was disbanded. At one level, this is the story of a covert war, of the secret
organization known as The Brotherhood, and of the one man who stood at the
center; a Swiss named Lord Otto de Grandson who became England's King Edward I
right-hand man. At another level, this is a spiritual story about Jesus' secret
teachings that he reserved for the select few. These teachings became the
Brotherhood's reason for being, why they fought their covert war against France's King Philip IV, and the motivation
behind their quest for egalitarian governance, a resurgence of democracy that
led to the creation of Switzerland,
the French revolution and the United
States.”

“A lavishly illustrated,
comprehensive look at the mysterious history of the Order of the Knights
Templar: Presents the myths and historical truths of the Knights Templar, the
elite warrior army of the pope who were destroyed as heretics some 700 years
ago; examines the evidence of the Templar connections to the Assassins and the
Cathars; includes more than 170 period illustrations and contemporary photos of
former Templar strongholds in Europe and Jerusalem. Despite the increasing scholarship devoted to
the study of the Templar order, founded in 1119, the mystery surrounding the
Templars endures. Secret societies from the Freemasons to the Ordo Templi
Orientis claim descent from this religious order of warrior-monks. As the
private army of the pope, the Knights Templar were initially established to
protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land
but grew to become one of the most powerful organizations in the Middle Ages.
With period illustrations from manuscripts from the Crusades, interpretive
romantic paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries, and contemporary photos by
Steven Brooke and others of former Templar strongholds in Europe and Jerusalem,
James Wasserman, author of the bestselling The Templars and the Assassins,
provides a fascinating history of the Order and the many mysteries and legends
that surround it. Wasserman presents the evidence for the Templar connection to
mystical Islamic organizations such as the Assassins as well as their ties to
“heretical” groups such as the Cathars, who were targeted by a crusade in
southern France
to expunge the challenge they presented to the orthodoxy of their time. In
addition to providing an overview of the Templars’ actions during the Crusades,
Wasserman revisits the trial and the charges leveled against them, showing how
the Order was ruthlessly crushed. He also explores the nature of the treasure they
left behind, which has fueled popular imagination for centuries.”

This book is an essential
exploration into the history of a legendary group of Crusaders, which are
prominently featured in Dan Brown's recent best seller, The Da Vinci Code. The
Knights Templar rose from humble beginnings to become the most powerful
military religious order of the Middle Ages. Formed to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land, they participated in the Crusades and rapidly
gained wealth, lands, and influence. Seemingly untouchable for nearly two
centuries, they fell from grace spectacularly after the loss of the Holy Land. In the ensuing centuries the Templars have
exerted a unique influence over European history; orthodox historians see them
as nothing more than soldier-monks whose arrogance was their ultimate undoing,
while others see them as occultists of the first order. With clarity and ease,
Martin navigates between the orthodox and the speculative, the historical and
the myth, to bring alive the story of the Templars. Like those other legends of
the Middle Ages—the characters of the Arthurian tales—The Knights Templar holds
captive the imagination of all those intrigued by conspiracy and how history
and myth intertwine to become the stuff of legend.

The internationally
bestselling author of Brethren and Crusade tells the cataclysmic story of the
last days of the Knights Templar. Robyn Young’s historical fiction has topped
international bestseller lists and won praise from the likes of Raymond Khoury,
Steve Berry, and Alison Weir. The Fall of the Templars chronicles an era few
people know about—what happened when the Templars returned from the Crusades

want an army of religious warriors back on European soil. Leaving the Christian
empire in the East in ruins, Knight Templar Will Campbell returns to the West
to discover that the Temple has forged an
alliance with his enemy, King Edward of England,
vowing to help the king wage war on Scotland. This pact against his
homeland strikes at the core of Will’s faith and allegiances, while his
daughter, Rose, is led into a dangerous affair in the French royal household.
Will now faces a choice: Should he protect his family, or lead his men into a
new world? The fight for the Holy Land has
ended. But the Temple’s
last battle has just begun.

Arguably one of the most
provocative, puzzling, and misunderstood organizations of medieval times, the
legendary Knights Templar have always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, while
inspiring popular culture from Indiana Jones to Dan Brown. In The Templars,
author Michael Haag offers a definitive history of these loyal Christian
soldiers of the Crusades—sworn to defend the Holy Land and Jerusalem, but
ultimately damned and destroyed by the Pope and his church. A bestseller in the
United Kingdom—the first history of the enigmatic warriors to include findings
from the Chinon Parchment, the long-lost Vatican document absolving the Knights
of heresy—The Templars by Michael Haag is fascinating reading.

The first history of the
legendary knights since the Vatican
momentously released the records of their trial and exoneration. Who were the
Templars? What was the secret of their wealth and power? Why did the pope and
the king of France
act to destroy them? The Knights Templar were founded on Christmas Day 1119, on
the very spot in Jerusalem
where Jesus Christ was crucified. A religious order of fighting knights, the
Templars defended the Holy Land and Christian
pilgrims in the decades after the First Crusade. Legendary for their bravery
and dedication, the Templars became one of the wealthiest and most powerful
bodies of the medieval world—until they were condemned for heresy two centuries
after their foundation, when the order was abolished and its leaders were burned
at the stake. In The Templars, renowned historian Michael Haag investigates the
origins and history, the enduring myths, and the soaring architecture of an
enigmatic order long shrouded in mystery and controversy. The hand of the
Templars, many believe, can be found in everything from Cathar heresy to
Masonic conspiracies, and the Knights Templar still inspire popular culture,
from Indiana Jones to Xbox games, to the novels of Dan Brown.
